Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May '7, 1907.

Application filed August 31,1906. Serial No. 332,851.

To aZl whom it may concern:

trated at Fig. 1 of the annexed drawings.

Be it known that I, GEORGE GRUMBAR, a i This thread is made in varying lengths and subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at 27 and 28 Noble street, London, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair-Nets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an attachment to hair nets, usually known under the name of fringe nets, which are worn by ladies for keeping the front of the hair and fringes in place.

The nets are now generally made of real human hair, silk or other thread and are netted by hand or mechanically t0 the shape of the letter V. The wide part is naturally elastic and stretches very wide, which is the chief disadvantage of fringe nets now generally worn, as this Wide or stretchy part Which should fit closely and neatly underneath the front of the hair against the forehead, absolutely fails to give satisfaction in spite of a large number of pins which have to be used to confine the stray hair as well as possible under the net, since the most important point is that the net shall be invisible while the net without attachment can always be detected.

Figure 1 is a view of a hair net having 'my invention associated therewith, and Fig. 2 is a slight modification of the same.

According to this invention, which is to overcome the above disadvantage, the body of the net is constructed in the usual V form, and I attach a strong hair, thread or cord A to the wide part of the net at a short distance from one side, then thread same through the bottom row of meshes B from side to side and l fasten said thread at the other end to the net effectively prevents the net from stretching Wider than the length of the thread. The thread can either be secured only at both ends as at Fig. 1, or else to every mesh through which it passes, as at Fig. 2, or the thread may be rove through a few of the meshes only if desired. The few meshes on each side of the thread A are left free for the purpose of regulating the net over the coiffure when arranging. This attachment of r the cord A to the net overcomes all the usual disadvantages, it confines all the stray hairs underneath the net, it prevents the fringe net slipping down over the eyebrows and makes it absolutely invisible on the forehead where it fits closely and neatly; It causes the remainder of the net to form a sort of bag which allows any amount of fullness for any 6 kind of coiffure and only necessitates the use of three pins for the arrangement, one on each side and one to fasten the surplus-net at the back.

What I do claim and desire to secure by 5 Letters Patent is A hair net, comprising a V-shaped body formed of mesh material, and a thread connected to the mesh at the enlarged end portion of the V-shaped body, said thread being of less length than the width of the enlarged end portion of the body.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

GEORGE GRUMBAR.
